It's part 2 of the favorite looks from Paris Fashion Week. To catch up, simply click
here to head back for part 1.
*The beginning of the week is fairly easygoing the heavy hitters and powerhouses of the fashion world can
live up to everyone's expectations later in the week; much pressure for
them. For the sake of time and quality, the favorite looks on this post
are from the more well known labels of the world. (Click each underlined name to view the entire collection; not ranked)*
Hermès - This was Christophe Lemaire's second ever collection for this fashion house. The collection showed the many traveled and discovered places of the world. There were bits and pieces of Morocco, the Sahara, Mediterranean, and Native American elements. With such an inspiration, the designer has kept things very simple, spot on minimalist.

Jean Paul Gaultier - One thing you can never doubt is the attitude and swagger that is instilled in every collection by the man, himself. Every approach has a kind of overwhelming confidence. This show was quite different. It was the same as they used to runways back in the 50s. There was no music with just narration in French then repeated afterward in English. The models were even carrying cards with their numbers on it as they walked. But the work in every piece was vintage Gaultier, his signature was on it that's for sure.

John Galliano - The former head designer of Christian Dior has been away for a while from past controversies. The man at the helm for the moment is, of course, Bill Gaytten. He kept the honor of the house through this new collection. Even though Galliano is absent, his spirit surely was shown throughout the runway. Gaytten said that the inspiration came from both Mary Pickford and Mary Poppins; although, it seemed there was more of a lean towards Poppins. The show gradually went from the proper quaint nanny to slight seduction.

Lanvin - Alber Elbas explained how he pictured an angel an hell, as he kept going with the collection, the angel finds itself returning upward to earth. The collection became day wear mixed in with the more dressed-up looks. The aim was to make somewhat sporty outfits look a bit more elegant. That didn't take away from the pure and raw sex appeal, though. For example, the lovely Miranda Kerr made sure of that.

Louis Vuitton - We never have to question the genius that is Marc Jacobs. The brilliance behind each collection has complemented the glamorous show. The venue and the show's concept always transfers the audience into a whole different world. The ideas conceived can only come from not only the banking behind the label but the very creative mind of Mr. Jacobs. The past Fall collection was quite heavy and so he felt it was necessary to lighten the load. The show was presented like a dream, with a very large all white carousel, from which aach model came off her horse to take her place on the runway.

Maison Martin Margiela - One very important factor we here at LWIS admire and respect very much about this label is that they work as a unit. The 'Maison' was later added to make a statement. They recognized that every piece of the puzzle is needed in order to be successful. The passion from the design team runs very smooth and is very clear. This fashion house has yet to let down the expectations of the fashion world. This time around it seemed they were very interested in deconstruction of the pieces. The absence of connection from one part of a dress to another left a very tempting scene to gawk at.
